Court rules expert fees are public law remuneration, not income subject to pension suspension under Polish Social Security Law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the Social Insurance Fund's claim that an expert's court fees constituted taxable income requiring pension suspension. The insured argued his side business was incidental, but the court determined that fees paid by courts under specific public law statutes create a public-law relationship rather than a civil employment contract. Consequently, these specific payments were excluded from the income threshold that would otherwise trigger the suspension of pension benefits.
